We work with three very small family workshops, where craft has been passed down and carefully kept. These are people we've come to know well, not just as partners, but as friends whose hands shape every piece.

India - Anju & Raghav

Our embroidered pieces are made in India by Anju and Raghav, whose family has built a workshop rooted in generations of knowledge. We chose to work with them not for cost, but for something rarer: expertise that can't be rushed or replicated. India is the birthplace of cotton and home to more than 500 embroidery techniques, some of the world's oldest, that are still practiced by hand.

We've been with Anju and Raghav for almost 10 years now. It's a partnership built on shared rhythm, slow work, careful hands, respect for the craft. Together, we explore Indian embroidery traditions alongside European folk motifs, letting heritage speak to heritage. What emerges is something new but deeply rooted. We're proud of what we create together.

Lithuania - Rita

In Lithuania, Rita makes many of our tailored pieces, especially those crafted in linen. Linen grows native there, woven into the landscape and the culture. Rita knows this fabric the way you know family, its moods, its memory, how it wants to be handled. She brings years of expertise in structured garment construction, the kind of technical precision that honors what the material can become.

We've worked with Rita for years, building trust through seasons and collections. Her hands understand what ours imagine.

Mauritius - Joyce

Our knitwear is made in Mauritius by Joyce, whose family workshop specializes in the delicate architecture of knitting. Mauritius has a longstanding friendship with France and a knitting tradition that deserves to be better known: exceptional in its technical knowledge, its attention, its slow mastery.

Joyce brings precision and care to every piece. The rhythms of her workshop, steady, patient and exact match our own. It's a collaboration we treasure.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Fair Practice

We believe that transparency is fundamental to responsible production. We see our suppliers as partners and we've worked with the families who produce the majority of our collections for an average of 9-10 years. All relationships built on trust, regular communication and mutual commitment to improvement.

We visit regularly, we talk often, we work together when standards need to improve. Where things fall short, we collaborate to build capacity for long-term change. When a workshop can't meet our requirements, we part ways, but that's rare when you work with people you know.

Our Certifications and What They Mean

All our workshops meet strict ethical and environmental standards, verified through independent third-party audits. Here's what each certification guarantees:

BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative)

Ensures safe, fair working conditions across our supply chain. BSCI audits verify that workers are treated with dignity, receive fair wages, work reasonable hours, and operate in safe environments. It covers social compliance, labor rights and ethical business practices, the foundation of how people should be treated at work.

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit)

Specifically for knitwear production at Joyce’s workshop, SMETA provides comprehensive ethical auditing across four pillars: labor standards, health and safety, environment and business ethics. It ensures the workshop maintains the highest standards of worker welfare and environmental responsibility.

GPSR Compliance (General Product Safety Regulation)

We fully comply with GPSR, the latest and most demanding European product safety regulation. GPSR requires rigorous traceability, chemical safety testing and consumer protection measures. It means every product we make meets the strictest safety standards in the world, with full accountability at every stage of production. This is why some things take longer, we won't cut corners on safety.

Zero Tolerance for Modern Slavery

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy on slavery, human trafficking and any form of forced labor in our supply chain. All our partners, Anju and Raghav, Rita, Joyce, sign our Code of Conduct, attesting that:

• They use no form of forced, compulsory, or slave labor;
• Employees work voluntarily and are entitled to leave work;
• Each employee receives an employment contract with reasonable notice periods;
• No deposits or bonds are required, and salaries are never withheld;
• Passports and work permits are never surrendered as a condition of employment.

We conduct regular risk assessments and due diligence, with particular attention to regions and sectors at higher risk. Our team receives modern slavery awareness training to recognize signs of exploitation and know how to report concerns.

This isn't abstract policy, it's how we work with people we know by name.

Full transparency, fair treatment, and traceability at every stage, as standard practice.
